What’s going on in your garden (2026)?

The cotyledons. Don't know why I remembered that!

Yes!
That's it
(Kiemblaadjes in Dutch, so not even close)

They are a lot bigger today, there 2 first leaves are showing (there's a name for those, but I can't remember what it is in English)

The cotyledons. Don't know why I remembered that!

Or just the seed leaves... easier to remember. The others are the true leaves.

Yes, seed leaves!

badjak Your soil looks like mine, really hard when it's dry.

Tea was an edited version of last night, with the addition of garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, alleppo chilli powder and flakes and tamari. It was much improved.

Tomatoes and cucumber from the garden.

I'm attempting to grow some Aleppo peppers!

 

[badjak]

Yes, seed leaves!

It's not too bad, it's just the top that dried out a bit

That's assuming you are talking about the soil

 

[Barriehie]

Yes.

Well, it's not raining for days on end like was predicted which bumped up my tilling schedule.

Before:

After:

Too much going on today so I'll smooth it out and set up my tomato cages Monday.

Just some watering and harvesting whatever is ready
Check on my cucumbers.
Lettuce hasn't germinated yet. Maybe the seeds were too old. I give it another day or 2 and then I will seed someting else.

I harvested a few blueberries and cucumbers.
The tomatoes have folded in half under the weight of fruit, I'll rig up a support tomorrow.

I also spotted the second harvest of raspberries have started to form. I reckon about 10 days and I'll be collecting my second crop.

The garlic still need another week in the fridge before I can plant it out though.

I helped a neighbor with a gate and I got a bunch of these for my tomatoes.

Also got these for cucumbers and squash. I like those growing up off the ground, it's a snake thing...

 

[Barriehie]

My garden still looks like a war zone. The lads are putting all the metal rods together today, and so tomorrow, we can start mixing cement and building columns.

I have managed to get 4 apricot kernels to germinate. I will wait until they are dormant over winter to move them, but I am really chuffed. I thought I might struggle with them, but apparently not. The tree they have come from is really old and it will be great to get some younger versions growing because it is a very tasty apricot fresh off the tree.

Do they do like peach trees where it won't produce the first few years? We have peach trees but not much happens until they're 3 or 4 years old.
